Hello,

Question:

Keisha solved the following equation:

4x − 2x + 8 = 6(x + 4)

Which step has an incorrect justification? (Make sure to type only the number of the step into the blank: 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5)

Correct Solution:

x − 2x + 8 = 6(x + 4)

4x + −2x + 8 = (6) (x) + (6) (4) (Distribute)

4x + −2x + 8 = 6x + 24

(4x + −2x) + (8) = 6x + 24 (Combine Like Terms)

2x + 8 = 6x + 24

Subtract 6x from both sides.

2x + 8 − 6x = 6x + 24 − 6x

−4x + 8 = 24

Subtract 8 from both sides.

−4x + 8 − 8 = 24 − 8

−4x = 16

-4 x -4 = 16

x = -4

Answer:

Where keisha went wrong was forgeting to subtract 6x to both sides.

Incorrrect step is #3

The solution to the equation is correct.

on the line - 4x + 8 = 24 to the next line

- 4x = 16

4 should be Subtraction property of equality and not addition property of equality

Graph the result of the following transformation on f(x)

pshichka [43]

The graph would be the normal parent function of f(x) but all points would be 6 units up.

There's an upward vertical shift of 6. To graph this, you need to graph the function f(x) and then add 6 units to all the y values.

How can you tell whether or not a question is a statistical question?

Ray Of Light [21]

A statistical question is one for which you don't expect to get a single answer. Instead, you expect to get a variety of different answers, and you are interested in the distribution and tendency of those answers. For example, "How tall are you?" is not a statistical question. But "How tall are the students in your school?" is a statistical question.

Hi : u# 44.3

Z1-0.05/2

Z1-0.025

Z0.975 = 1.96

Z = x-u/s.d/√n

Z= 44.4 -44.3/2.6/√130

Z = (0.1×11.4018)/2.6

Z=0.44

Since the calcalculated value is less than the table value and does not fall in the rejection region we fail to reject the null hypothesis

calculate the volume of each cone. Use 3.14 for π. Round answers to the nearest hundredth if necessary.

coldgirl [10]

Answer:

2355 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cone is given by

V = 1/3 pi r^2 h

V = 1/3 (3.14) (15)^2 (10)

V =2355

Write an equation for the line in slope-intercept

Tamiku [17]

The equation would be: y=3x+5
The line crosses the y-axis at 5, so that’s the y-intercept.
The slope is 3 because it goes up by 3 and then 1 to the right, as a fraction it’s 3/1 which is just 3
